A POSSIBLY UNIQUE AND HISTORICALLY
SIGNIFICANT SPANISH TRADING COMPANY
STOCK CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO THE QUEEN
MOTHER OF SPAIN, THE NATION’S MOST
POWERFUL WOMAN OF THE PERIOD
A SUPERB CONDITION 1693 ITALIAN MONTE LOAN
1693, Italy. This Italian bank bond called a Luoghire presents one of
the very early documents in the form of an interest bearing loan. Of
great importance this bond concerns financing by the famous De
Medici family of Florence. The bond bears the Grand Ducal Arms
of Ferdinand II of the Medici, as the Medici were great promoters of
this type of bank. This type of financial institution was started in
the Middle Ages and was initially used to receive donations and
bequests in wills and used these for charitable purposes. Under the
directive of Pope Leo X, who was also a De Medici, these banks
changed their purpose and accepted deposits on a commercial interest bearing basis to loan to the state or for a specific purpose. The
real commercialization of these banks began under Ferdinand de
Medici, under whose auspices this bond was issued to offer interest
bearing bonds to investeors. It paid an interest of 4% per annum and
is quite decorative with the Medici Coat-of Arms (with six spheres,
which inspired the symbols outside today’s pawn shops) flanked by
two representation of Jesus with six loves of bread. The bond is
printed by copper engraving on vellum and has a paper seal embossed
with the coast of arms of The Medici. Choice condition.

REAL COMPANIA GUIPUZCOA DE CARACAS,
CARACAS COMPANY
Spain. One share. Engraved vignette of the royal arms of Guipuzcoa
with an extremely ornate border design depicting an indian, female
figure, fruits, weapons and plants as well as a number of boxes of the
company’s freight. Printed on vellum. Attached embossed white seal
which also depicts the Guipuzcoa royal arms. The Caracas company
was formed by a group of merchants in the Guipuzcoa province near
San Sebastian, in the Basque region of Spain. Its primary purpose
was trading with the Caracas province of Venezuela as well as the
development of agriculture and the oversight of Orinoco river to
the Hacha river in order to prevent illegal trading by the Dutch from
Curacao. This company was the first of the great spanish overseas
trading companies and the first Spanish trading company known to
have issued public stock. At 21 Elizabeth Farnese (1692-1766), the
Queen consort of Spain, was married to Philip V of Spain. Exerting
great influence of the weak Philip, she strongly supported the policy
of Alberoni, one aim of which was to recover the ancient Italian
possessions of Spain (eventually both Sardinia and Sicily were seized
by the Spanish). Elizabeth was such a staunch supporter of this
policy that she even placed herself at the head of one division of the
Spanish army as French forces advanced to the Pyrenees! Ultimately,
Elizabeth’s ambition was grievously disappointed. The Triple Alliance thwarted her plans, and in 1720 the allies made the banishment
of Alberoni a condition of peace, and the Spanish were forced to
abandon Sicily. In the end, all Elizabeth’s entreaties failed to prevent
the abdication of Philip, who gave up the throne to his heir in 1724,
and retired to the palace of La Granja. Seven months later, the death
of the young king recalled Philip to the throne. During his declining
years, Elizabeth directed the whole policy of Spain toward securing
thrones in Italy for her sons. In 1736 she had the satisfaction of
seeing her dreams realized with the accession of her son Don Carlos,
later Charles II of Spain, to the throne of the Two Sicilies and his
recognition by the powers in the treaty of Vienna. An important,
early Spanish trading company stock and historically significant issued to the most powerful woman in Spain at the time. Uncancelled

He served as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury during the last three months of

eastern money interests who knew
that Dix’s presence would lend stability to that faltering administration. In
May 1861, Lincoln appointed Dix
major general of volunteers and, as
such, Dix outranked all other volunteer officers until the end of the War.
After the War, Dix had a distinguished

drop, long billed as the most fearsome roller coaster in the country, as
well as the fastest on record. Built at
the gargantuan (for the 1920’s) cost of
80,000 dollars, “The Bobs” carried
1,200 passengers per hour and drew
some 700,000 riders each season. “The

In the years before the Civil War,
Richmond Virginia’s Gallego

barrels annually. During the war
this mill, the largest in the world,
was hastily converted into a
prison for captured Union soldiers when the nearby Libby
prison reached its maximum capacity. Prominently situated in the
Richmond waterfront, the
Gallego Mills were among the
many buildings destroyed by retreating Confederate forces as they
fled the Confederate capital under orders from General Lee.
Photographed by Alexander
Gardner soon after its destruction, the 1865 albumen silver

“Now be at your posts, for the mighty man Sin
Stands watching the door, to let FED’RALISTS in;
For something must rule them, no doubt a wise thing,
And were it the DEVIL, they’d call him a KING.”
At the bottom, outside the elaborate border: “The Embargo – While
the kingdom of Great-Britain is deaf to the voice of reason and
justice it is the only alternative to protect our seamen, preserve our
property and establish our rights.”
In an attempt to protect American rights on the high seas from
continued foreign violations, the United States passed a series of
laws know as the Embargo Act during the latter part of President
Thomas Jefferson’s second term. Initially aimed at punishing Great
Britain, these acts were soon expanded in order to addressed the
continued defiance of the embargo by American citizens. With smuggling endorsed by large portions of the American public, the Embargo Act proved incredibly unpopular and inspired a great public
outcry. Though the Embargo Act did have its supporters, opposition
to these laws led to the repeal of the Embargo Act just days before
Jefferson left office. According to the Library of Congress, a copy of
this broadside, taken from the Trenton True American, is included in
one of Thomas Jefferson’s personal scrapbooks. 8½” x 10½”. With
minor fold marks, in bright, crisp and clean condition. A Fine and

1773 Bound pamphlet: A CONTINUATION OF THE NARRATIVE OF
THE INDIAN CHARITY SCHOOL,
BEGUN IN LEBANON, IN CONNECTICUT; NOW INCORPORATED WITH DARTMOUTH-COLLEGE, IN HANOVER, IN THE PROVINCE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE. by
Eleazar Wheelock D.D.: President of
Dartmouth College: Hartford: 1773.
68pp in self wraps. “Eleazar Wheelock
was, a graduate from Yale in 1733, pastor of the Second (North) Society in
Lebanon, and a popular preacher during the Great Awakening. He began
the Charity School (first called More’s
Charity School, after Col. Joshua More,
who contributed a house and schoolhouse) in 1754, and by 1765 had some
forty-six pupils, all supported by charity. In 1769 Wheelock was given a charter to establish Dartmouth College,
which he did in 1770, and became its
first president.” (Streeter Sale.)
Wheelock’s plan for the School,
formed to instruct Indians and train
them “as missionaries and teachers to
their respective tribes” [DAB], was
inspired by his having taught Samson
Occom in the 1740’s. This scarce pamphlet, 7th in a series of 8, provides
information on the School from September 26, 1772 to September 26, 1773.
This edition is remarkable for its inclusion of the Abstract of the Journal of a Mission to the Delaware Indians West of the Ohio, in 1772 and
1773, by David McClure and Levi

ONE OF 18TH CENTURY AMERICA’S MOST IMPORTANT PERIODICALS
Supplement to the third volume of the “Columbian Magazine or Monthly Miscellany Containing a View of the
History, Literature, Manners & Characters of the Year 1789”. Philadelphia: Printed for the Proprietor, by W. Spotswood.
The Frontispiece is in elegant embellished script with an eagle, described in full on page iv as “An Explanation of the
Frontispiece: The Genius of Foederate America is represented sitting under a palm tree, the Emblem of Peace…”
This being published not long after the constitution had been signed, the authors make mention of the establishment of the Federal Government of the United States as being the “one of the most glorious and important events
in the history of mankind…” and announces the ratification of the Constitution of the US by the Twelfth Federal
Pillar, North Carolina. A few of the articles contained within: On the Patriotic
Conduct of the American Woman, Observations of Coinage, Magnanimity of
the American Soldiery, An Effectual Remedy for the Bit of a Mad Dog, Religious Persecution, a Fragment. In the back contains what some consider an
example of an 18th century Trade Card, tipped in as separate advertisement
dated Philadelphia, Feb 1st, 1790 for Le Collay and Chardon’s Paper Manufactory. Also includes the index for the year. Front and back covers are detached
and a little tattered, binding is held together by a single thread; pages are bright
and clean and Very Good.

The Columbian Magazine was not a revolutionary journal in the sense of
having fomented conspiracy and encouraged rebellion, but it had a revolutionary air. It celebrated the accomplishment of the break with England in
every issue and almost on every page. The men who helped make the magazine
were all men with a stake in the change. A fine addition to any collection of
18th century American printing.

“Sir, IMPRESSED with a sense of dangers to which our Country is exposed, the
Republicans of the Legislature when at Concord, assembled to deliberate on the momentous subject…They were conscious that their
constituents looked to them for information
in an hour of peril…War then, or an Embargo became necessary…What then remains
to be done? Shall we sir, shall Republicans be
supine and inactive when the country is in
danger? The enemy is upon us, and shall we
be lulled to repose? shall we, in short, make
way for men whose watch word, is “Energetic
Government;” whose policy is English policy;
and whose object is an alliance with GreatBritain, and consequently, a war with the
civilized world.—Or, shall we nobly stand
forth in defence of country, of equal government, of peace and liberty!” Addressed on

A RARE AND GRAPHICALLY FANTASTIC
SATIRICALTEMPERANCE BROADSIDE
FOR “THE BLACK VALLEY RAILROAD”
Original temperance broadside Black Valley Railroad! Great Central Route.
Lithograph 11¾” x 15¾”; light green. [c1863] A spectacular wood cut
imprint display of an elaborate scene of drunken figures and people
helping them; a train with a distillery as its caboose is leaving “Drunkard’s
Curve,” in the foreground are people helping into Ambulances the disabled and dying.
The Black Valley Railroad was an 1860 metaphor for the road to hell for
those who drank alcohol. The train depicts partiers and drunks at the
“drunkard’s curve” station, the last stop before going into the mountains,
the home of the devil, storms, violence and ultimate death – the last stop
“Destruction at Dead River.” Much propaganda in the text at the bottom
with names of destinations such as Sippington, Tippleton, Topersville,
Beggars-town, Demonland and Black Valley arriving to destruction! Accidents by collisions entirely avoided as no trains are run over the road.
“Tickets sold at liquor shops throughout the country” A few pin marks at
corners, light wear, tiny amount of dampstainting to very bottom, otherwise Fine.

CONFEDERATE CLAIM FOR SLAVE LOST
IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE
Document Signed. Sumter, South Carolina, July, 9, 1863. 1 page.
55" x 7½”. A very long and fascinating document from the civil war
which, at great length, details a slave named Sim who was impressed
into service to fight for the confederacy and died of Typhoid Fever
on Morris Island. Captain E. J. Pugh being the Slavemaster of the 24
year old slave, a “prime field hand & rough blacksmith...in excellent health
(who was) selected from the gang ...for public service...on account of his
robust health...& convictions, arising therefore, that the said
Sim would be less likely to suffer from hardship & exposure
than others of deponents slaves..was impressed...November A.D.
1862 by M.J. Tinsdale Commissioner of Road for Sumter District to work
for one mouth of the Coast defenses...” The extensive subsets of the case
give particulars of the interested and disinterested parties, oaths &
affirmations, with signatures, one being a William Nutter who testified Sims did not return home from the coast with the disease on
January 1863.
Another from T.M. Khan, dated July 11, 1863, testifying he was
called on to attend the slave Sim “daily and often,” that there was little
chance for his recovery and noted the date of his death. Tinsdale, the
Commissioner of Roads signed and testified as to his impressment.
The document concludes the value of the slave was $2,000.00 “according to the best judgment of the deponents.” The coroner & magistrate
Julius J. Fleming signs at the bottom stating the signatures of the
those testifying, including the “appraiser” (of the value of a human
life) are genuine. The magistrate Fleming had a voice later during
reconstruction in the great South Carolina Ku Klux Klan Trials “For
a quieter voice of restraint.” Usual wear, VG. Remarkable & very
